Have loved this extension from the first time I found it. I've used it for everything from deleting extraneous data from lab results to deleting the Amazon prices on stocking stuffer presents that haven't arrived yet, but are going to so go with the proverbial "it's coming, it's coming". Please, please to the developer, whatever needs to be fixed on this to keep it active, do so. If you need contributions, say so. I'll gladly pony up.

This addon is great and works exactly as advertised but it uses Manifest2, which is deprecated and will be blocked by Vivaldi browser in 2024 and other browsers soon too. Developer must update to a newer manifest format or this addon will die soon.
